There is hardly week passes that
we do not read of destructive fires
where people lose heavily-some lose
all their earthly possessions. This
would not be if they would ensure as
all careful business men do. But you
should insure in reliable companies and
not unsafe ones. q. A. Spaulding &
Co.. are agents Of the best companies
in the United States and Europe.
Their rates are as low as those of weak
companies. Our advice is, insure your
property and insure it with SpauIding
ing & Co., for there you get absolute
protection against loss,
